Ethernet Extender

Extend your network far beyond the normal limits of Ethernet

The Wolverine series consists of six units with one thing in
common – the ability to allow you to ignore the conventional Ethernet
boundaries for copper cable. By design, a standard Ethernet network has
a transmission limit of 100 metres (328 ft) over UTP copper cables, the
Wolverine allows you to go much further and on many other kinds of
cable.

The Wolverine series utilises SHDSL technology on twisted pair
cables to establish a high-speed remote connection between two Ethernet
Networks. Instead of needing to install fibre or radio links, the SHDSL
technology can provide a cost-effective solution by using existing
cables. Data rates up to 30.4 Mbit/s and an operating distance of up to
15 kilometres (9.3 miles) at lower data rates can be achieved.

WeOS can deliver unique IP security functionality for this
class of product e.g. a multiport DMZ can be constructed by utilizing
the internal port based firewall function. Remote secure access to a
network can be provided using encrypted VPNs. For resilience, a ring of
Wolverines can be created using the FRNT protocol, or by using OSPF,
the Wolverine can form part of an enterprise network.
